393: Ten Crows Henghuo (3) [Please double the monthly ticket]
Although the messenger [Zixu] gave Shen Tang buffer time, it was limited and there were too many things that needed to be dealt with.
This news was not deliberately concealed, and it spread throughout Heyin in less than two days, and the people looked sad.
In the two years since Shen Tang took over Heyin, they have lived a peaceful and prosperous life, and the gloom of the past seems to be far away.
But this does not mean that they have forgotten. They just hid those unbearable memories in the deepest place, and occasionally they would bring them out and chew them. They just lamented that they were lucky, met a good county guard, and finally came to the end of their hardships...
But, these good days are too short!
It was really too short! Many elderly people even ran to the door of the government office to cry and almost fainted!
The younger ones would inevitably curse the royal court and the messenger who made this decision behind their backs.
But no matter how much you criticize, the fact is a foregone conclusion.
The officials in the government offices were extremely anxious.
It wasn't until the third day that Shen Tang held a meeting.
It's just that the content of the meeting is different from what they thought.
"Everyone must have heard about what happened in the past few days, but as long as I don't step down from the post of Heyin County Sheriff, I will be the Heyin County Sheriff. I hope that during this period, you will all keep your posts and do your best. Do your job and don’t be careless.”
All the officials looked at each other privately.
They have been tossing and turning these past few days.
Very worried.
What are you worried about?
I was worried about whether to go with Shen Tang.
It stands to reason that Lord Shen treats them as well as He Yin. If it weren't for Lord Shen's action and his harsh methods, He Yin would still be a desolate and barren land, a breeding ground for gangsters, and they would not be able to have the prosperity and happiness they have today. day……
It was the right thing for them to follow Shen Jun and leave.
but--
They are all natives of Heyin. Their ancestors have lived here for generations. They have parents, wives and children at home. Even their ancestral property and ancestral graves are here. How can they just leave here?
Even if they can walk, can their relatives endure the long journey?
Even if they could bear it, Longwu County was always in danger of being plundered by ten black horse bandits. How could they bear to see their relatives who had been stable for only two years in danger? The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety made them suffer in their hearts, worried that Jun Shen would ask them what they wanted. I don't want to follow him, but I'm afraid that if Shen Jun leaves, I won't have a backbone anymore.
The hall was so quiet that you could clearly hear a pin drop, but what Shen Tang said later was completely different from what they thought. The current focus of work is still the upcoming autumn harvest, packing up the belongings, counting the people and horses, and arranging the aftermath.
Shen Tang is serious about dealing with the aftermath.
The first thing is to withdraw all kinds of "articles".
When Shen Tang was still in Heyin, she could strictly control the situation. The people's willingness to exchange "tickets" for purchases was also endorsed by the government and Shen Tang's credibility. It's not that Shen Tang didn't distrust Xu Jie, who was about to take over, and she also believed that he was not messing around. People, but Xu Jie's trustworthiness does not mean that everyone around Xu Jie can be trustworthy.
In order to avoid any hidden dangers, she would notify the people in advance and let the people who had "tickets" in their hands come to the official office to redeem the corresponding physical items.
As for the "notes" in the hands of merchants who do business outside, there are account books to record them, and they can just ask Xu Jie to help cash them back.
Fugu Department Store and Miscellaneous Store can be handed over to Xu Jie to continue operating. This model is quite useful for the current He Yin.
Common people are also accustomed to this way of shopping.
Other matters, such as the maintenance of reservoirs and rivers, the arrangements made by the people in the government office, and the acres of land in Heyin... Shen Tang kept detailed written records of everything. Other businesses that could be cashed in were sold in the shortest possible time to cash in food and grass.
The morning meeting lasted for an hour.
The staff members, who looked a little haggard, spoke one by one.
Finally, it's nearing the end.
One official couldn't sit still.
He said, "Jun Shen——"
His eyes were about to speak but stopped.
Shen Tang guessed what he was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "I also have regulations here regarding you gentlemen."
All the officials cheered up and raised their ears.
Feeling anxious and nervous, swallowing involuntarily.
But Shen Tang said: "I recommend to the envoy the new governor of Heyin County. This person is quite familiar with you. He is Xu Jie, the head of the Xu family in Tianhai. With his temperament reflected in his writing, he will be able to work harmoniously with you. Heyin, I will leave it to you."
All the officials were immediately dumbfounded.
Shen, what Shen Jun means...
Are you planning to take away none of them???
"Jun Shen!"
Shen Tang didn't wait for what they said.
He sighed with emotion: "He Yin has been stumbling in the past two years. Every step has been heavy and slow. The pain in it is not known to outsiders. You all have watched it with your own eyes, and it has gradually transformed into the prosperous appearance it is today... In this world, It is not easy for the common people to have a place to settle down. You know Heyin, and I think that as long as you focus on serving the people, you can be stable. I hope that in the future, I can work with Wenzhu to protect it. In the coming year, maybe I will have the opportunity to work with you. All of you, please hold your cup and rejoice together..."
Shen Tang had carefully discussed with Qi Shan and others in the past few days as to whether to take away these officials.
The conclusion is not to take it away.
First, Ha Yin needs them.
Secondly, the situation in Longwu County is unknown, and it would be of little use if they went there. Shen Tang's current manpower is sufficient.
Thirdly, leaving one's home voluntarily and being forced to leave one's home are always two different things, and Shen Tang didn't bother to force him.
Let's get together and part ways.
There were already officials in the hall bursting into tears.
The situation was so special that Shen Tang didn't bother to hide anything anymore and directly recruited troops and horses on the spot. The noise was so loud that it alerted the neighbors next door.
When they heard what happened, they were speechless and choked up. In addition to lamenting Shen Tang's misfortune, Zheng Qiao was too stubborn and showed no sign of caution. He even generously provided a sum of food and grass.
Among them, Tianhai Wu Xian was the most generous.
As soon as they came, Shen Tang had to go to that shabby place in Longwu County. If he didn't bring more soldiers and horses, he would just give them away. They were worried that Shen Tang wouldn't be able to recruit enough soldiers and horses.
Secondly, if Shen Tang leaves He Yin, there will no longer be a threat.
It's too ugly to have a small belly and chicken intestines at this time.
The fate of Heyin County has also become their focus.
only--
Wu Xian spat out a mouthful of tea: "Who are you talking about?"
Who did his brother Shen recommend?
"...Yes, Wen Zhu."
"Brother Shen recommended the annotation..." Wu Xian's computer stopped on the spot and didn't react for a long time, "He, Brother Shen..."
At this moment, Wu Xian had only one thought——
Brother Shen loves him so deeply!
Even Wu Xian did not dare to say that if he was transferred to another place, Tianhai County would be handed over to the "Tang Di acquaintance" whom he had met several times. This was the family fortune that he had worked hard for two years.
Two years and seven to eight hundred days and nights of hard work!
He understands the current situation of Heyin very well. It can barely be regarded as a prosperous and peaceful place, so he will give it away... Shen Tang will not recommend his staff to be the governor of Heyin?
I won’t say whether Wang Ting will agree or not, but this move...
Besides "true love", Wu Xian couldn't think of another word.
Close relatives may not be able to achieve this level of generosity and selflessness. They must be secretive about their own children and be wary of each other. But Shen Tang recommending Xu Jie under his account has nothing to do with giving He Yin to Wu Xian. the difference?
Before, he was more wary than trusting.
At this moment, all doubts suddenly collapsed.
"...Where are the annotations?" Wu Xian hurriedly asked Xu Jie's whereabouts. Xu Jie ran away all year round, and it was normal for him not to see anyone.
The person who sent the message: "...I have received the news and rushed to Heyin, saying that Mr. Shen has something to explain to him..."
Wu Xian pursed his lips, and all the staff members were quiet.
Even Qin Li, Qishan’s biggest fan, fell silent.
He began to believe——
Shen Jun influenced the "evil plan" with his actions and prayed for good.
"Alas...I'm not as good as Brother Shen..."
Wu Xian sighed with red eyes.
Although it somewhat ruined the atmosphere, Qin Li still wanted to ask: "How does the lord plan to arrange General Zhao?"
Wu Xian: "..."
This is really a problem.
Ordinarily, within two years, Zhao Feng fulfilled his original promise without any discounts - helping Shen Tang gain a foothold in Heyin, which was regarded as repaying his life-saving grace.
But at this juncture, no matter how thick-skinned Wu Xian is, he can't bring himself to recall Zhao Feng. He is willing to give away He Yin, who has worked so hard, but his villain's heart is like a gentleman's heart...
It can't be explained by "adding insult to injury".
Given Zhao Feng's temper, he would not agree to come back.
Wu Xian's head was buzzing and hurting again.
"...Let Dayi decide this matter himself."
He chose to kick the ball back, and at the end he added: "Gongsu took my order and transferred ten thousand stones of food and grass to Heyin. This can be regarded as my brother's practice for Brother Shen. I hope Brother Shen will go to Longwu and really be able to float dragons into the sea." , Yunqi Longxiang..."
"only."
Shen Tang has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two years.
The slogan for recruiting troops is just two words.
【Feed up!】
In the chaotic world, these two words are more deadly than gold. Many young knights from nearby counties rushed over after hearing the news. In just half a month, they recruited 5,000 people——
This is still the case where thresholds are set.
If there is no threshold, you can have 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
During this period, Shen Tang also did something small.
Secretly ordering people to hide their identities and go to distant and chaotic areas to search for girls with strong bones.
Last year, due to the chaos caused by the displaced people and poor harvests in various places, countless people were forced to leave their homes and many died of freezing and starvation along the way.
Human life is as cheap as grass.
Within a month, nearly a thousand people had been recruited.
These people must naturally be handed over to Bai Su. Bai Su had already started preparing to form a women's team before, but there was very little movement. They were all sneaking in. There were only a hundred people in total. If you want to go to Longwu County, you have to put it on your agenda.
Shen Tang is so busy right now that he is hitting the back of his head.
It wasn't until Xu Jie arrived at Heyin that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The annotation is back."
Shen Tang had not slept well for several days, and there was not much blood on Shen Tang's face. Her lips were as pale as her face, and her eyes were slightly green and black. It was rare that Xu Jie didn't complain about her familiarity, and just nodded in response: "Well, came back."
"Has it been a hard journey?"
Xu Jie said: "It's not hard work, everything went smoothly."
"Oh, as long as it goes well..."
Xu Jie took a seat at Shen Tang's signal.
Shen Tang asked: "Should Wen Zhu have received the letter?"
Xu Jie: "I got it."
"Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
Xu Jie said: "It's too unfair to Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang smiled casually: "I don't think so much about whether it's fair or unfair. Longwu County really needs a reliable person in charge. The king transferred me here because he probably recognized my achievements in the past two years. If I can keep it, Good Longwu County, I can intimidate Shiwu Xiaoxiao, so that they dare not invade Longwu again, and save innocent people from being massacred. I am the same everywhere..."
When Xu Jie heard this, he was greatly shocked. After a while, he choked up and said, "Jun Shen's character... I am so ashamed!"
"It's about He Yin... I dumped the burden of He Yin on you without asking for your opinion. It's not me... but I can't think of a second person that I can fully trust..." Shen Tang It's like nagging at home.
Xu Jie lowered his head: "Xie, I am afraid that I will betray Lord Shen's trust."
Shen Tang said sincerely: "It's not that I haven't thought about the other people under Brother Zhaode's account, it's just... firstly, I don't have much contact with them, and I don't know their character, so I'm not at ease if they are entrusted rashly; secondly, other people Most of them come from powerful noble families, have high family status, and naturally have complicated relationships. They are born to stand in high places, how can they possess the body to observe the bottom? They may not be able to treat the people of Heyin wholeheartedly. I am also afraid that they will become victims of the struggle for power. On the other hand, Tianhai The Xu family has relatively simple family relations, has been in business for generations, and has a lot of dealings with the common people. Wen Zhu travels around all year round, so he must be more sympathetic to the common people's needs..."
Xu Jie didn't say anything for a long time. It wasn't until the heat of the tea on the table dissipated and turned from hot to lukewarm that he slightly reddened his eyes and said for once, "The Xu family started off as a merchant and has always been criticized. Today, Mr. Shen doesn't treat Xu as a businessman." I am from a humble background, so I would like to entrust you with my full trust, and I would like to swear with a sincere heart that I will do my best to protect He Yin as long as I live, and I will not let down Lord Shen..."
Shen Tang also said emotionally: "Okay, okay, in this way, I can rest assured in Longwu County in the future!"
After a heart-to-heart talk, the relationship has naturally improved a lot.
Shen Tang led Xu Jie to a place.
She had sorted out all the trivial matters in He Yin in detail, including which officials could be used, which ones could be transferred, and which ones could be replaced. At this moment, Xu Jie truly understood what kind of He Yin Shen Tang had left behind.
A wealthy person...
Every household has two years' surplus of food...
The household registration has tripled or quadrupled in two years...
Ha Yoon County!
If this situation continues, in one year at most, it will become a powerful entity that cannot be ignored among the four families, giving even Tianhai a headache. There is still a shortcoming in terms of military strength, but they have accumulated enough foundation...
Even if it is inconvenient to attack the other three families, they can still expand outwards... Of course, it is not ruled out that the neighbors feel threatened and stabbed in the back. But no matter what, to give up such a good situation like this. How magnanimous is this.
Shen Tang is still talking about this year's autumn harvest.
"Judging from the condition of the fields, this year should be a good harvest. I plan to collect the field tax and take away part of it. The remainder will ensure the normal operation of the government office. Wen Zhu doesn't have to worry about this..."
Xu Jie sighed secretly.
"Everything can be decided by Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang smiled slightly: "That won't work. You are the future governor of Heyin County, and your permission must be obtained. Otherwise, it will be suspected of overstepping my authority, which will be harmful and unfavorable to your control of Heyin. You can't be so casual in the future... It’s easy to be underestimated.”
Xu Jie remained silent.
There is a long-lost illusion of being cared about by elders.
The Shen Jun in front of him was much smaller than him.
The two talked for a long time, and what they talked more about was He Yin's future development and arrangements. Shen Tang and a group of staff had clearly arranged every step that He Yin would take in the next ten years. Xu Jie only had to copy it. Do your homework and get high marks.
He listened carefully.
It wasn't until the servant came in to hold the lamp that he realized it was getting dark.
With the help of weak candlelight, Xu Jie looked at the free and easy young man who was shrouded in shadow and had just begun to take on the shape of an adult. An undercurrent surged in his heart, and he had all kinds of emotions: "It's a long journey to Longwu, and we need to be protected by strong and courageous warriors——"
"If Mr. Shen doesn't give up, I would like to recommend someone."
